FAQs

What is Rosetta Stone?

Rosetta Stone is an interactive computer software program designed to make language acquisition easy and intuitive. It uses a mixture of words, pictures, speaking and listening in the course work. Rosetta Stone also provide live interactive tutors and a social network of other language learners to practice with! There's no books, no memorizing, no grammar tables.

How does the Rosetta Stone method work?

Dynamic Immersion® is the cornerstone of the Rosetta Stone method. By eliminating translation and grammar explanations from language learning, Dynamic Immersion activates your own natural language-learning ability. You begin to think in your new language from the very beginning—the same way you learned your first language.

You constantly interact with the software by connecting words with images to confirm their meaning—all through a carefully designed sequence that helps you build grammatically-accurate language structure step by step.

How much time will it take me to learn a new language with the Rosetta Stone solution?

It will take about 40–50 hours to complete the content in each level. In addition, for the duration of your online services, you'll enjoy access to our live online sessions and online language-learning community to practice and refine your skills. Remember, each learner is different. Some will use the program on a daily basis, while others will log in less frequently. The more you use the Rosetta Stone® solution, the more quickly you'll learn a language.

How is the Rosetta Stone method different from traditional language learning?

Traditional methods explain the meaning and structure of a new language through translation and grammar rules in your native language. As a result, you can't understand or use your new language without thinking in your native language. This extra step slows learning and makes speaking a new language intimidating and laborious. The Rosetta Stone® solution eliminates translation and tedious grammar explanations, allowing you to intuitively grasp new concepts, all while thinking exclusively in your new language.

Unlike videos or books, our solution is all about interaction. At every step, you have to actively demonstrate your understanding of a new language. And Rosetta Stone software provides the opportunity to develop all your language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—from the beginning, using your own natural language-learning ability.

Does the Rosetta Stone solution work?

Millions of learners around the world have discovered a language with the Rosetta Stone® solution—from individuals to corporate clients such as NASA, the US State Department, and more than 10,000 schools.

Do you teach with English translations? What if you need them? Will they ever come?

From the very beginning, the language you're learning is the only one you will use. Meaning no direct translations, charts, or tables. Our approach prescribes no supplemental materials. Through listening, reading, speaking, and writing, you'll build the core building blocks. While it may be daunting to not have English translations to fall back on, we assure you it will come naturally. After all, it's how you learned to speak in the first place.
